Yes. If she didn't trust me, she wouldn't ask my opinion on my meds and ultimately let me decide if I'm going to take something or not. If I say I can't handle the side effects, away the med goes. If I say no, I don't want to try that, off the table it goes. A good example would be lithium. I said I would try it only if after a laundry list of other meds didn't do it, and we eventually got to that point...not more than a month later I was off it because I didn't like the side effects and it wasn't even at a therapeutic level in my blood, but I said take me off this, and she did.
